Well I was just pondering when I thought how fast do people read books. I read the cradle series last month in under 13 days. Constantly binge reading it. I have alot of time so it didn’t seem a big deal. Then I remembered in 2019 when I first picked up WoT I followed many people who were reading for the first time or reading it and I discovered it took most of them a year or so and I read it in under 4 Months. That time I was doing my last year in college and had many exams.

    I actually can read the 7 Harry Potter books in under 24H. Not in a single run, but if I time myself over 2 or 3 days, the total amounts to around 23H and 45min - though I basically know the books by heart now, which does speed up the process.

    I also read both parts of Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive) in a few days last year.

    I couldn’t watch TV or screens as a kid (it gave me horrible migraines and nausea), so I developed lightning quick reading skills.
